If you had one topic for each day, what would you choose? The topics could change or stay the same. This is the same as My asking you, "Of all your dreams, which one do you want to have appear today?" Will this not give you a worthy focus?
Your intention and focus will bring your dream to you. Certainly you implement your dream as best you can because your activity supports your intention. But it is not your activity of itself that brings your dreams to you. Your work is a signal of your desire. You reach your hand out and catch the brass ring. It was there before you caught it. In fact, you had passed by it many times before. But your eyes had been on it, even when you couldn't see it.
See your fulfillment ahead of time. Make it real. Create it, and it will march right up to you. You create it first in your mind. You make a picture of it. You stamp a picture of it and the picture is sent around the universe. It gets picked up and finds its way back to you. You made a picture of your desire, and you drew it to you.
Maybe not so soon as you would like. Perhaps in a different form. But what beautiful energy your pure desire waves across the universe.
We have talked about this before. Now We shall take a little twist. Instead of looking at what you desire and its fulfillment, watch what arrives and make it your desire. Look at it as a dream fulfilled. Perhaps a package you didn't order arrived, but maybe there is something there for you.
Even when there is a great hurt to you, it is not all hurtful.
When you lose a loved one, it is undoubtedly not your desire. But when you lose loved ones in whatever way you seem to lose them, instead of feeling your grief, feel their glory. Sometimes it is advisable to put yourself first, but at other times it is advisable to put another before yourself. This is the same as to say that you wish them well. Even when your beloveds leave their bodies behind and journey on a new road, do not try hold them to you. When you do not grip tight to your idea of someone, you are wishing them well. You free them from your demands, and you free yourself to your new life.
Welcome the fulfillment of your desires but do not clasp them. If your desires flit like butterflies, then enjoy them as butterflies. Let your desires be like kites that you let go of so they can return to you on their own.
Desires have their own nature. Some are sturdy. Some come and go. Some are faraway-seeming and some are close. Sometimes what is the farthest away alights first.
You may not always know what your desires are until they arrive. Only then do you see what arrived as a blessing. Are not desires a blessing?
You may see surface evidence of what happens in life, but how do you know what has not happened? Perhaps even that which you did not welcome was doing you a favor. Even desires unfulfilled may be fulfillment of desires.
So, today, if your desire is joy, then find it everywhere. If you are in stalled traffic, find joy even in that. A traffic jam gives you pause and time to think. Rather than be impatient at what is before you and that which you can not govern, be glad for it. How do you know what you are being spared from? A flat tire perhaps?
Put your dreams before you. Be pleasant. Life is teaching you what matters and what does not.
